GEORGE S. BLAMPEY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

WALL-POCKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of vLetters Patent No. 261,902, dated August 1., 1882.

' Application filed April 3,1882. (Model.)

To all 'whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, GEORGE S. BLAMPEY, of the city of New York, county and State ot' New York, have invented a new and Improved Wall-Pocket, of which the following specification is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to a wall-pocket of simple construction, made ot' pasteboard or other flexible material.

It consists in the combination of a flexible sheet divided into a margin and a central flap in onel piece therewith, so that the same side of the sheet constitutes the fronts ot' said margin and ap, with a back and ribbons, all as hereinafter Amore fully described.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure .l is

a perspective viewof myimproved wall-pocket.

Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.

The letter A represents a sheet of pasteboard or equivalent leXible material. From this sheet is cutout a central flap, b, by an ineision, which leaves said lil-ap intact at its lower edge with the sheet A. In this way said sheet y is divided into a marginal portion, a, and the ap b. The flap b is bent forward and connected by ribbonsc c to the margin a, as shown,

to produce a pocket. The central opening iu margin c., caused by removal of flap b, is closed by a back, d, secured against the back'of margin a.

In my improved wall-pocket it will be seen that the same side of the sheet A constitutes the front as well ot' the margin a as ot' the Hap b. Therefore, if' a sheet is used having one side ot' a superior finish, such finish will lbe exposed by the flap and by the margin. Moreover, when a wall-pocket is to be made with an ornamental design such design is first pxintedupon the front of sheet A, and then the flap b is cut out, thus imparting said design at one operation t0 both the front of the margin and ilap.

I claim as my invention- The combination of a iexible sheet, A, divided into a margin, a, and a central Hap, b, in one piece therewith, so that the same side of sheet A constitutes the fronts of said margin and Hap, with back d and ribbons cc to constitute awall-pocket, substantially as specilied.
